DEWALT 15 Amp 8-1/4 in. Compact Portable Jobsite Table Saw (DWE7485)

Firstly - Should have bought it years ago. I've been using a cast iron Craftsman 10" for years, but the belt drive was getting iffy. Plus, moving it around the garage was half the time spent instead of cutting. This is the cure! Get ready for an in-depth (unpacking) review... Secondly - The cons: My only real gripes; are that the start button needs better access - it would be nice to have a "click feel" when adjusting the different positions of the slide bevel push handle (Hitachi makes a very nice one) - and the tabletop is obviously smaller than my 10" Craftsman saw. I'll have to make a surface extension as it's not going to be fully portable. I sell these at my place of work, but for $20 more. I wanted to see if the online version was just as well built and with the same features as ours. I was right, they are the same. Very well-built, and solid with no shakes or rattles. I'll include pictures for your viewing pleasure and informational needs. I put a 48" straight edge on the table with the fence extended, using the measurement bar on the saw as a reference: spot on for blade/fence span. From the edge of the table shown in the spanned setting with the tape measure, 35" overall in case you wonder about support width. With a true 24-1/2" from blade to inside edge of fence fully extended. Picture 9 - The fence (flip-down support), is a very nice touch to help keep whatever it is you are running through in a full rip-level with the table surface. The blade guard shown in picture 3 - ours at work doesn't have this feature as it must be an older version. But this one; the guard you can lock in the upright position for a little more clarity if you need it. Nice oversized stop button that you can hit in a hurry; or if you are wearing gloves - you don't need to use just a finger to turn it off. The start button, to me, could be a little more accessible, or stick out farther. A minor detail. The blade spin with nothing loaded on it, stops in about 2 seconds from full spin. A nice touch, compared to a belt-driven blade which takes 2 weeks :) I like the tool storage on it, two places to put your blade stop/nut wrench. I see on the inside underneath, what looks like an additional tool storage slot, but the instructions do not say what it's for, nor is it labeled. Picture 5 - An extra place to put your blade kerf for when you transport it. Also on the outside of the fence is your push tool storage. You can also store your fence upside down under the right side of the table surface in transport mode! Picture 7/10 you get an idea what hose adaptor size for the dust collector you need. There is a tension adjustment for your fence extension bars on the left side underneath, if it feels a little loose you can give it a turn or two. I didn't install the kickback teeth as I do a lot of full - semi-full ripping of plywood, it's more of a hindrance than a help in my case. But for those who are new at table saws, I would suggest putting it on. There's also a handy storage for that kickback tool under the table surface. Overall, I'm happy with this saw. A very nice blade they install for you, smooth angle adjustment. Easy change blade guard with dust collection port on it. Dewalt wins again. Update: I've used it a dozen times now (plywood, 2x4, ripped a few 1x and wood trim). I put a collection bag on the blade guard, and a vacuum on the lower port. It will collect about 90% of the dust. The clear plastic blade guard I find I lock it in the upright position 9/10 times I use it, as I'm picky on "seeing" where it cuts (get yourself a nice face shield and dust mask). It's very loud, you will need ear protection. I still don't like the "on switch", you really have to jab it with an ungloved finger to activate it. Not very efficient when you are holding material in your other hand.

This is a $300+ table saw that I got for $75. Whether it was a price mistake or the deal of the century I do not know and frankly do not care. Clicked buy before the universe could correct itself. Build quality is exactly what you expect from DeWalt, solid, well made and cuts cleanly. For a compact jobsite saw it handles everything you throw at it without complaint. At full price it is still a great saw. At $75 it is basically a crime. Keep an eye out and jump on it if you see it discounted again.

The DeWalt DWE7485 table saw is an outstanding tool that has exceeded my expectations. With its 8 1/4 inch blade and 15 amp motor, it offers impressive cutting power and accuracy. The build quality is exceptional, with a sturdy and durable design that ensures long-lasting performance. One of the standout features of this table saw is its portability. It is lightweight and compact, making it easy to transport and store. Despite its smaller size, it doesn't compromise on performance or functionality. The rip capacity is excellent, allowing me to handle a wide range of materials and cuts. The DWE7485 is also equipped with a smooth and precise fence system that ensures accurate and consistent cuts. The adjustable bevel and depth settings provide versatility in cutting angles and depths, allowing me to tackle various projects with ease. Overall, the DeWalt DWE7485 table saw is a top-notch tool that delivers exceptional performance and versatility. Whether you are a professional woodworker or a DIY enthusiast, this table saw is a worthy investment that will get the job done efficiently and accurately.

Nice and compact. Takes up less space than the Craftsman that it is replacing. Quieter too. Feels sturdy and this will probably be the last table saw that I need. I also got the DEWALT Dust Separator with 6 Gallon Poly Tank. I don't mind the sawdust, but I would like my table saw to last a lifetime. Probably more than I need, but the DEWALT 8 1/4 table saw easy to carry around and works really well.

outstanding tool! very smooth, square right out of the box

Excellent light portable saw with a nice rip capacity. It plows right through solid Birch. Love it 👍

Awesome table saw with some minor issues. Wife got it for me for christmas. Light, easy to move, very accurate, and plenty of cutting power. I love it. There are a couple of minor things that bug me about it. The worst of which, is you can't adjust the vertical square of the fence. Mine is square out of the box, however it's a massive mistake, imo, to leave such a vital thing without an adjustment. Next, the miter gauge is junk. It's got at least 1/16" of play in the miter slot, which is just awful. I get skimping on the miter gauge considering people usually swap them out for a high end one but for a company like DeWalt to allow something so innacurate and so sloppy to be sold with their product is just surprising and disappointing, to say the least. Don't get me wrong, it's perfectly usable for something like miter cuts for trim or maybe framing a house where a small gap or less than perfectly matched angle is going to go unnoticed, but for finer woodworking where you need tight miters cut to perfect angles, it's going to absolutely be a problem. Outside of that it's awesome. The fence measurements are spot on. Get it zeroed in perfectly from the start and it will cut the exact length you set it to every single time. While a 10" blade would have been nice for the extra cut depth, this gets the job done just fine. All in all, I love the saw. Very well worth the money compared with the competition. Absolutely recommend it. Just make sure your table is flat and the fence is square vertically first thing out of the box to make sure you don't need to return it. And be prepared to replace the miter guage if it's something you need frequently or need to have any degree of precision. Also as a side note, I did have to exchange my first one. The switch was messed up in it. Since Amazon sent UPS directly to my house to pick up the return, it was completely hassle free.

Love this saw, I made the mistake of buying the one that didn't include the stand for the same price, so look before you push that button

La sierra es excelente para quien busca portabilidad, su disco es más pequeño (8 1/4) pero va acorde con el tamaño de la máquina, ya que la mesa también es más pequeña que las sierras con disco de 10" Su deslizamiento con piñones, ayuda mucho para medir con precisión (graduación es únicamente en pulgadas). La sierra se detiene con rapidez (ignoro si cuenta con algún freno eléctrico). Es mi primera sierra y la elegí por 2 razones: La regla se encastra en un par de cabezas de perno, por lo cual no tienes el problema de que se mueva o que no quede paralela con la sierra; y la otra razón es que la guardo cada vez que la uso y al ser pequeña y contar con una manija lateral (soldada al tubular) se posiciona de forma vertical, como se ve en una de las fotos de la publicidad. También les comento que trae espacios dedicados para guardar cada pieza incluida (la regla de ángulos, la guarda plástica transparente, las llaves para quitar la sierra, la pieza que evita el retroceso de la madera y la guía lateral; todo tiene su lugar, incluso trae para enrollarle el cordón. Por lo cual su atributo más destacable, reitero, es la portabilidad.

I find the saw to be an excellent buy. The fence is very accurate and easy to set up. I can have the width of the cut set in a few seconds. It cuts the wood without effort. Love it!!

I use it every day easy to set up well packed very little adjustments ready to use right out of the box I would recommed this saw to anyone looking for the best table saw worth the money.

Estoy sorprendido, la verdad no creo mucho las reseñas de amazon tanto ya que he visto productos con 5 estrellas y son de una, esta sierra esta muy bien hecha, la calidad de materiales te deja pensando que el precio es muy bajo por la gran calidad, algo que me llamo la atención fue que donde va la sierra esta cubierta de tela protegiendo la maquina de las birutas de madera haciendo que se mantenga limpio el motor, otra cosa que me llamo la atencion es que no tuve que rectificar nada, todo venia increíblemente rectificado, y la barra de guia increíblemente estable aun extendiéndola al maximo lo único que deja un poco desilusionado es la guia de inglete no es estable, pero si comparamos toda la maquina es un detalle menor ya que es una super maquina le doy de 1 - 100, 95 por la guía de inglete, en pocas palabras para ser una sierra de 8 1/4 " UN TANQUE"

Used this for home renos - It was one of my best and most used. I recommend this.
